very reminiscent of what we saw in katrina. the good news is the vast majority of people who were told to evacuate did evacuate so you didn't have as many trapped people, as you might have expected, had they not done so. two people dead and one man who is still believed to be missing. savannah? >> katy tur in stonington, connecticut this morning. thank you. >> let's go to al roker on point pleasant beach along the jersey shore. al, what's the weather like there, first of all? >> it's still windy, matt, and we're getting bands of rain. let me show you something down philadelphia avenue. you see there's a lot of flooding, and folks walking through that standing water. do not do that. because you don't know what's in there. from a biohazard standpoint, from a debris standpoint, from live wires. there was a woman electrocuted in new york city walking through a puddle. do not do that. so -- but, again, we are talking about the remnants of sandy still hanging around for at least another 24 to 36 hour. as we take a look at the "today"

it's a category one hurricane, why are they saying it could be more damaging than katrina. well, it's not just the area that it's going to impact. we're talking about an area of low pressure stronger than we've ever seen before. what happened is a very powerful nor'easter merged with the hurricane. what i want to talk about is the actual low pressure. so when you traditionally have a hurricane, you're talking about 970, 980 millibars. that's how low the pressure will fall. we are talking about appear area of low pressure down to 946 millibars. that's a measurement of energy. so basically that means this thing is packing a triple whammy. we're expecting a very, very high storm surge, anywhere in the area of 7 to 11 feet. that means the water will be sitting 7 to 11 feet higher than it traditionally does on the coast. we're also talking about treacherous rainfall and very, very damaging winds. a prolonged period of maybe 12 to 24 hours of battering winds potentially taking down trees, taking out power lines. that's why we're expecting outages. that's why we're talking about s

the one that is true, was about the vote on hurricane katrina. there will be all kinds of wasted funds. it is a principled vote and it will be easy to vote on. king was right -- this is the sioux city's response. the balance of that is false. i have had better votes since then. voting against obamacare, voting against cap and trade, dodd- frank, those were better votes, but the rest of those allegations are false. >> he is one of 11 congressmen who took a vote against hurricane katrina relief. i think that everything i said in that ad is true. we have researched all of it. these are congressman king's own words. >> and he is using one to define mrs. vilsack. see what it says. >> what does it mean if mrs. vilsack calls for tax increases? she is for increasing taxes on job creators and in this stagnant economy, christie vilsack will effect -- >> mr. king, you've seen the ad. >> that's the first time i've seen that, but am happy to respond. mrs. vilsack wants the tax increase to kick in on millionares, and many of them are job creators and small bus
